Battle Soldier
Gutsy, rugged, muscular, flamboyant youth
The dedicated battle soldier serves his country
Lured by lucrative remuneration , free rations
Leaves behind home hearth with flaming emotions
Wearing hard, heavy steel-toed battle boots
The battle soldier stands stolid and motivated
Feels like Goliath standing on a platform elevated
Sharp, hypnotized stare gun in hand feels elated
Battalion of different coloured soldiers he spies
Raises the merciless gun shoots with patriot hued eyes
Another gutsy, rugged, muscular, flamboyant soldier
Rib cage shattered, oozes blood a “patriot” falls
Grinning vultures ogle on CCTV “they have built the walls”

Battle Soldier:
An emotive subject war! To trade through treaty and politic better. As many aim for control of land and it's populaces through warfare and oppression. Your writing in this poem makes this self evident. There has to be a better way to go about it all. Liked your writing a good read.
